I miss running. 5Ks, 10Ks, Half Marathons, Marathons. I ran regularly until my hip replacement 3 years ago. Running now is not an option, and I really, really miss it. A lot!

I never understood why old people lost their sense of humor and happiness but the more I have happiness and success ripped from my life by corrupt and immoral people or just the unfairness of death I realize why. I wish I has something for you. Good luck finding that roseOutside of family members, I miss the time when I had a positive outlook on life and I felt good about my future and the world. I'm not sure how to explain it. I knew it wasn't going to be all roses but now I'm hanging on for just one rose.
Same here man. I go to work, talk to some of my friends at work, go home and that's it. I go shopping when needed and go to the gym on the weekends. I used to hang out with my friends, but I don't really talk/text many people at all. I guess age might have a little to do with it.I guess I miss the person I used to be sometimes. I was very social and outgoing and always chasing skirts.
Some nice thoughts and sharing going on here. Many of the posts reminded me of things I miss that I hadn't thought of. Especially the posts about dogs and family get-togethers.
There's nothing wrong with missing things and people or having regrets as long as you don't dwell on them and let them interfere with your life today.
I guess I miss the person I used to be sometimes. I was very social and outgoing and always chasing skirts. Now I'm a borderline recluse/alcoholic and ignore most people outside my job which by the way is the only thing that motivates me these days.
Im sort of the same way. Im a social person when Im around people but I just dont have much urge to go out an meet people in new places. I think that may be because I feel I have been around a little and it doesn't feel like it is all it is cracked up to be. So I often just go home and relax and I have put off dating for now and am just trying to get myself in a better place overall.
I think there are some dangers in that reclusive lifestyle but if you have a healthy mind and a positive view of who you are then you can get out of it. I know I will have to shift gears at some point and start doing something else, but for now I have sort of been the same while i rebuild
I agree. The danger with the reclusive lifestyle is that sometimes you can become reckless and uncaring because you have no one to keep you in check. You have no one who needs you or depends on you. Those are red flags in my opinion. I think a happy person is one who feels needed. I'm not married and have no kids but my job as a teacher keeps me feeling needed. I retire in three years and it scares me so I am going to keep on working for an entity of some sort that needs me.

I say this not to make fun of you but only as a life lesson.

Yeah, I do spinning (stationary bike spinning). I actually have a professional spinning bike being delivered on Thursday, donated by my daughter who has 20 of them in her fitness studio. I'll sign up for the Spin-TV program for inspiration and leading. Up to now I've been going to her studio but the classes are mostly around 5:15 AM and that's just too early for me.Have you replaced running with another type of cardio exercise?
Loneliness can actually shorten your lifespan. It ranges from 26-32% off your life expectency depending on your level of solitary living. I read elsewhere that 1 in 4 millenials will live their life without a partner as well.

So ****ing what? That's got to be the worst reason I've ever heard for getting into a relationship.
Not everyone has any easy time getting out and meeting people. What am I going to do, go to a bar and strike up a conversation with some random people I don't know? I ****ing hate small talk with the fury of 1000 suns. I'm an introvert, so that's my nature.
It's a catch-22 for me. I don't have any friends around here because I don't go out. I don't go out because I don't have any friends. People are completely loony nowadays. You want people who are comfortable being alone to put effort into meeting them?
EDIT: Rant off. Back to things we miss, sorry.
